Try this homemade beer mustard with pretzels, sandwiches, or as a marinade for meats. It's quick to make and perfect for adding a punch of flavor to your favorite dishes.
1. Grind the Mustard Seeds
Start by coarsely grinding the mustard seeds. You can use a spice grinder, coffee grinder, or even a mortar and pestle for this step. The goal is to break down the seeds while maintaining some texture.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the ground mustard seeds, mustard powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Add the Beer
Pour in ½ cup of beer (or water if substituting) and stir the mixture thoroughly. The beer not only adds a unique flavor but also helps in binding the ingredients together.
4. Let it Rest
Allow the mixture to sit for at least 10 minutes. This resting period helps to mellow the sharpness of the mustard. The longer it rests, the milder the mustard will become.
5. Add Vinegar
After the resting period, pour in 3 Tbsp of cider vinegar. Stir well to combine. The vinegar adds a tangy note that balances the flavors beautifully.
6. Jar and Refridgerate
Transfer your mustard into a clean jar. Seal it tightly and refrigerate it overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and develop fully.
7. Put Some Mustard On It
The next day, your homemade beer mustard is ready to use! Add a dollop or two to your favorite foods and enjoy the burst of flavor.
